Description

The preparation method and the equipment that contain the aqueous solution of urea
Technical field
Aspect the most widely, the present invention relates to the method that a kind of preparation contains the aqueous solution of urea, by the reduction reaction of oxynitride and gaseous ammonia, this aqueous solution intends being used for removing the oxynitride (NOx) that is present in combustion exhaust.
Concrete, what the present invention relates to aforementioned type is the synthetic method for preparing urea of raw material with ammonia and carbonic acid gas.
The preparation that the invention still further relates to the method for implementing aforementioned type contains the equipment of the aqueous solution of urea.
Background technology
As everyone knows, the international law of the gaseous effluent (burning gas or waste gas) that produces about the burning of fossil oil, in more and more stricter mode, force significantly to reduce the pollutent that is included in the described gaseous effluent, oxynitride (NOx) particularly wherein is because oxynitride (NOx) is the origin cause of formation of described acid rain.
For this purpose, developed the method for the gaseous effluent of different processing fossil-fueleds, especially, the method for selective catalyst reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx)---more is called the SCR method with being widely known by the people---and is widely used, and it can remove most of NO and NO in the gaseous effluent 2, be translated into to environment inert compound, as nitrogen and water vapour.
This method is specially adapted to reduce in a large number heavy-duty car, particularly has the oxynitride of gaseous effluent of the heavy-duty car of diesel oil or turbo-charging diesel motor.
The SCR method is based on following series of chemical, and ammonia and oxygen by in the air-flow of needs purification with reaction of nitrogen oxides, cause the removal oxynitride:
4NO+O 2+4NH 3=4N 2+6H 2O
6NO 2+8NH 3=7N 2+12H 2O
NO+NO 2+2NH 3=2N 2+3H 2O
More than shown in reaction be strong exothermal reaction, according to estimates, contain the air-flow of 1000ppm NOx, in conversion process, its temperature-averaging raises 10~11 ℃.
The preferred temperature range of SCR method is 180 ℃~350 ℃, transforms under 180 ℃ the temperature not exclusively being lower than, and therefore can not guarantee required clearance usually; And in the temperature that is higher than 350 ℃, side reaction can take place in ammonia in the air-flow and oxygen, as at 400 ℃, mainly by following reaction, loses about 5~10% ammonia.
4NH 3+5O 2=4NO+6H 2O (4)
The appearance of this reaction will resist the reaction that takes place at the scavenging process that is higher than under 350 ℃ the temperature, and the actual demand that is not less than 200 ℃ of minimum operating temperatures need be adopted suitable catalysis system or not rely on the catalyzer of process operation; State-of-the art heavy-duty car as being equipped with the heavy-duty car of Euro 4 or Euro 5 engines, all is equipped with this catalysis system or catalyzer usually.
For the adding of the required ammonia of operation SCR method, all use ammonia or urea in the aqueous solution as everyone knows, its concentration is generally the 15-35% of aqueous solution weight.
This aqueous solution is injected into by atomizing nozzle in SCR catalysis system (or catalyzer) gas stream upstream that needs to purify, and the upstream of catalysis system also can be another kind of fixedly mixing device, with the required turbulent flow of assurance air-flow, and disperses reactant smoothly.
Especially, in said process owing to will avoid the transportation of the ammonia or the ammonia aqueous solution or the hazard of storage, with the urea in the aqueous solution as reactant right and wrong usefulness usually.In this case, according to following reaction, obtain the required ammonia of purification of air-flow to be processed from the decomposition in situ of urea.
N 2H 4CO+H 2O=2NH 3+CO 2
Decomposition reaction is thermo-negative reaction, and the air-flow that institute's heat requirement is handled by need (generally all have and be higher than 300 ℃ temperature) provides, and this also can be reduced to the temperature of gas the preferred value of the SCR method shown in above.
For the urea that obtains to be used for to remove the aqueous solution of oxynitride, prior art estimates that at first dilute with water urea obtains required urea concentration up to obtained aqueous solution then by conventional urea equipment synthetic preparation molten or granular urea.
Adopt this method, owing to can obtain the urea synthesis (molten or particulate state) of high purity (99% or higher purity), just may obtain very pure and do not have the finished product (urea in the aqueous solution) of free ammonia (because niff and to the influence of environment does not wish to have ammonia).
Yet, because in order to remove ammonia by obtaining high-purity fusion or granular urea, need to concentrate the synthetic aqueous solution of urea that obtains, to remove solvent (water) wherein fully, and described solvent is introduced again at the dissolving step of fusion or granular urea subsequently, therefore aforesaid method comprises a large amount of energy consumptions, and a kind of preparation method of urea-containing water vapour is existing disclosed in as WO2006/096048.
